Looks great, but - what's that hissing noise?

July 7, 2011

Purchased this (twice - last one got torn from the bike and lost in a harescramble) to replace that eyesore vent hose tucked onto the steering stem. No instructions supplied, so I figured I would just heat the bottom with a lighter and push it onto the gas cap while the heated hose was pliable. Seemed to fit just fine. But, later I did notice a hissing noise when I had stopped on a trail ride - sounded like gasoline fume pressure was escaping through the vent, and some gasoline had seeped from around the base - pushed down on it and it has since seemed to have stopped. Gonna cinch a zip-tie around the base for good measure. Moose needs to supply some intructions for proper insallation. Looks good and tidy, though.
